I've gone back to the 472.12's AGAIN!
Apparently if you have a GSNYC monitor, dwm.exe is spamming NV service REG queries ~1000 times a second and could use up to 5% GPU usage in certain scenarios (nvidia drivers 511.65 and 511.72)
Load up Process Monitor and see for yourselves ( Gsync Monitors )

Nvidia are looking into it
Is this still the case if you install with NVSlimmer and remove all the gubbins ?
NVSlimmer - NVIDIA driver slimming utility

Never tried that. Let me download, how do I get Nvidia info from it ?
This is what I got when I opened the prog. No idea what I'm looking at xD
Load it up
Click Edit : Clear Display
Scroll down for dwm.exe, if nothing use Clear Display again sometimes it takes a couple of event clears before it floods the window again!
I just did a Process Activity Summary, it showed there were atleast 21,904 registry events compared to any other Windows process. Which is crazy!
Okay I see a ton of that dwm.exe after following your instructions and scrolling way down. I have no idea what this means, will this slow down my PC?
Most don't notice it, however it can use up to 5% CPU time even in games which it shouldn't be doing! It uses more cpu time than playing a game with spotify or browsers open in the background.
Not a problem pre 5x drivers
That's mad, yeah I thought Nvslimmer avoided this type of thing with Nvidia drivers. Is the only way to fix to roll back then ? Ugh xD
I reckon Nvidia is mining on my GPU!
Haha
Actually wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia did this
Apparently! 472.12 doesn't suffer this it seems
Oh wow that's a hell of a roll back, I doubt I'll bother then. Curse you Nvidia

NVSlimmer is very convenient for removing the bloat and just installing what you want. I use it everytime.Just did a DDU uninstall to completely wipe all the previous rubbish including any Telemetry/Geforce Experience and then used NVSlimmer to only install the core/driver and physx! Will give Last of Us a test tomorrow
Hey mate do you know why are these a separate branch from the main driver? Does the main driver not offer Vulkan support?
Nice one, the Game Ready ones make the most sense for me then.
Latest one has been good, have a weird vsync problem on The Last Of Us, but that is probably the game

Using 566.14, all good so far, great performance and no issues on RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 3070.
